Bruce board will tackle amalgamation issues CHESLEY – Trustees with the Bruce County board of Education will be talking about" two contro- versial issues next month, Amalgamation of school boards and a four-year secondary school program, both recommendations of the royal Commission on Learning will be on the agenda for the May meeting. Education minister david Cooke has ordered a 50 per cern cut in the number of school boards. While the task force appointed to do that job is promising consultation with existing boards, the province has already told boards to avoid "any unnecessary spending prior to amalgamation". That means employee contacts must not extend beyond the end of 1997, and any new senior staff must be hired on an interim ba- sis. Meanwhile, a memo from the Ministry of Education and Train- ing about the four year secondary school program that will be effec- tive in September 1996 has raised "more questions than answers", ac- cording to trustees and administra- tion. Trustees don't know whether the reform will leave an optional OAC (Ontario Academic Credits) pro- gram in place, or combine the pro- gram in what is now the Grade 12 course of study. The Board is keeping student council presidents up to date on the issue,but is hoping for more infor- mation from the Ministry. East Wawanosh accepts bid for calcium chloride Three tenders submitted for spraying BELGRAVE - East Wawanosh Township council accepted its ten- der for spraying its roads with cal- cium chloride for 1995 at its regu- lar meeting last Tuesday evening. Following a presentation by Paul Ohm ^of Tembind Dust Con- trol of RR 4 Walkerton, council accepted the tender from Da -Cee Dust Control of Fruitland, Onta- rio. A total of three tenders, includ- ing those from Tembind and Da - Lee were received. The third ten- der was from Pollard Highway Products of Harrow, Ontario. The bid from Da -Lee Dust Con- trol was for $188.90 per imperial ton, with a total price, including taxes, of $202.12. The total cost for 1995 would be $9,297.65. The cost from Tem - bind was $13,904. Roads superintendent Ralph Campbell said the township spent about $31,000 in 1994. He noted the roads department used 46 tons of chloride last year at a cost of $158 plus the GST. Conn. Fred Meier said there was just too much of a difference between the bids of Da -Lee Dust Control and Tembind, so he made a motion to accept the Da -Lee ten- der. In his presentation to council, Ohm said that this was the fourth year Saugeen Farm Supply has been working with Tembind Dust Control. He noted they mostly did non -municipal projects in their first three years. Ohm said die product is a dust suppresent which is derived from the pulp and paper industry. He Said it was also a road stabilizer so there is not as much gravel plowed into the ditches in the winter. He said that as well as eliminat- ing the need to grade, it could also reduce the need to put dust sup- pressant on the roads. "We guarantee this product for 90 days," said Ohm. He stated that they use a 25 per cent solution on regular gravel and a 35 per cent solution on fresh gravel. The township road superinten- dent said he didn't want to put the Tembind solution on fresh gravel. Campbell said they will see what happens in Morris Township, which is' going with Tembind this year on all township roads.
